GamePro: Dark Souls First Look

Ahh, Demon's Souls. From Software's highly-lauded (and extremely punishing) action-RPG which punished players as much as it rewarded them is getting a spiritual successor in the form of Dark Souls. Like the previous game, Dark Souls is set in a dark fantasy world, rife with powerful enemies that will, as From Software puts it, punish and frustrate players at every turn. They said this while laughing, if that gives you any indication of their motivations.

Holy crap the new trailer looks awesome. I hope it comes out this winter, no delays please can't wait.

TheREAL-HyDRo1x5583d ago

I for one am excited for this game more then any other game this year! I will wither away another 140 Hours a weak for 3 months straight on this.

Ryudo5583d ago

A little OTT but each to there own I guess...

frjoethesecond5583d ago

I'll be doing the same thing. 140ish.

NoobSessions5583d ago

This, or Skyrim? Both seems like quality RPGs. Hopefully they dont release around the same time so I dont have to choose.

Lirky5583d ago

I hope they upped the dodging for players so we can outsmart the a.i. with dodging.

cmacdonald5583d ago

Sequel to the best game of the current console generation.

Vegeta90005583d ago (Edited 5583d ago )

It's a new IP so it's not a sequel to anything. And before you say it, no it's not a sequel to Demon's Souls. Then again, maybe Demon's Souls is just a sequel to King's Field and Yakuza 3 is the sequel to Shenmue 2.

@cmacdonald

Spiritual successor =/= sequel.

The only sequel to Demon's Souls will be called Demon's Souls 2.

cmacdonald5583d ago

It's a sequel to Demon's Souls, watch the video. And it's a game all ps3/360 owners should buy. 360 owners should rejoice just as ps3 owners should about Mass Effect 2.

VenomProject5583d ago

It's a new ip in name only. Are you honestly going to deny the blatant similarities to Demon's Souls?

It'd be like Sony releasing news of a new ip named "Haloz: Combat Devolved," which just so happens to be a colorful space FPS with a protagonist named "Chief Master."

But since Haloz is a "new ip," the game should not be considered a sequel or spin-off to the original Halo.

Right...

Legionaire20055583d ago

True it is a spirtual successor to King's Field check out Wikipedia for Dark Souls and Demon Souls. The developers was not lying about this game being harder than Demon Souls. Just Look at the creatures in the trailer. That Red Dragon I bet is the sleeping dragon lol!!! Can Skyrim tops This?

Ryudo5583d ago

Vegeta.... how can one person be so wrong and have any agrees.

First of all, Yakuza 3 is the sequel to Yakuza 2 and Yakuza 2 is the sequel to Yakuza.

The Yakuza series why very impressive is inferior to the Shenmue series in just about every sense.

It was spawned out of the idea of a cheaper less production value brother to Shenmue. It doesn't have the same quality or budget of the Shenmue series.

Dark Souls is looking to improve on the of Demon Souls in just about every way getting bigger and badder. It's not an inferior breed off because they can't afford to make a true squeal...

So your whole analogy is way off.

over 100 weapons was in the article cool.. i wonder if we can dual wield weapons.

VenomProject5583d ago

I love how Dark Souls is getting all of this buzz, when the first game was announced no one batted an eye. Now that the game has proved its awesomeness, there's new trailers, screenshots and all kinds of coverage. :P

I <3 From Software.

Like it or not, its time to admit Dark Souls is a horror game

Before Elden Ring and Bloodborne, FromSoftware's talents for all things creepy and chilling gave Dark Souls an atmosphere unlike any other.

This feels like the epitome of a 'tepid take'. Dark Souls has always worn its gothic horror influences on its sleeve, it isn't exactly subtle.

"Like it or not its time to agree with me"

DarXyde201d ago

Dark fantasy, I'd say.

Horror is a bit much. Bloodborne is closer to horror.

gold_drake201d ago

mh ur right actually.

dark souls plays around with horror themes without being a straight "horror" game.

bloodborn definitely starts out as that haha.
